Jeez, Marek, "CapitOl"? Stahley was right! And he was right in an
incredibly funny way, not intentionally of course....
But I'm sure we'll now see more examples from that list of Stahley's quotes
with all those "forgeries", written by a mischievous gremlin who would post on
Bob's computer under the handle bo...@primenet.com while he was sleeping...
>Overview: Another Capitol bastardization,b ut this time done correctly.
>Parlaphone only released MMT as an EP, with only the songs from the first
>side. Capitol combined these songs with some singles to make a complete
>record.

>Overall, an excellent album. One of my all time faves, and I think the fact
>that I spelled "capitol" correctly is proof enough of that. The Beatles
>continue to peak musically, and lyrically. Do these guys EVER miss a beat?
>Not yet. From the powerful opening brass of MMT itself to the self mocking
>close of All You Need Is Love, this record doesn't stop. Not much different
>from Pepper in sound overall. Much of this was recorded around the same
>time, some earlier, some later.

>The cover: Not the greatest. Certainly colorful enough, but the picture is
>a bit small, IMO. Nice fold out
The preferred phrasing is "fold-out", are you delusional as well as
illiterate?
>though, and the booklet is a gem! Though
>the story does not, oddly enough, follow the movie itself faithfully, it's
>still quite charming.

>Note on responses: I am NOT giving up my wondeful killfile.
You misspelled "wonderful", a word which you use too much in reviews such as
this anyway.
Stahley was so right; this is just another example of "I don't know anything
about art, and I beligerantly refuse to learn anything about it, either, but
that won't stop me from critiquing it, 'cuz I'm entitled my opinion, no matter
how ill-informed it might be, and I'll shout it to the world 'cuz I can."
Would it kill you to perhaps take an art history class at CUNY, or consult some
texts on the subject before offering us your "informed opinion" as to Beatles
music? I hope you at least attempted to consult some of the works of the
"Beatles authorities" before offering up your opinions! We should really leave
reviews like this to the "intellectual elite" who are smarter than the rest of
us because they analyze pop music in excruciating detail with the proper
references and essay format, while the rest of us dumb slobs might listen to
Beatles music purely for enjoyment while leaving our so-called "intellectual
pursuits" to matters such as our professional fields or other interests of
ours.
